Numerical reconstruction of a cluster of small elastic inclusions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a problem of reconstructing a cluster of small elastic inclusions which are located close to each other. We show that the location of the cluster and the elastic moment tensor associated with it can be reconstructed by the measurements of the displacement vectors on the boundary corresponding to the traction applied on the boundary. The detected elastic moment tensor represents the overall (or effective) property of the cluster of inclusions. We implement this idea of reconstruction for the two-dimensional linear isotropic elasticity to demonstrate its viability. We also perform a numerical study on the relation between the elastic moment tensor and the total size of the inclusions of general shape.

Reconstruction of Inclusions in an Elastic Body
We consider the reconstruction of elastic inclusions embedded inside of a planar region, bounded or unbounded, with isotropic inhomogeneous elastic parameters by measuring displacements and tractions at the boundary. We probe the medium with complex geometrical optics solutions having polynomial-type phase functions. Using these solutions we develop an algorithm to reconstruct the exact shape o...
متن کاملIdentification of elastic inclusions and elastic moment tensors by boundary measurements
We consider the problem of identifying unknown inclusions inside an elastic body by means of traction–displacement relations measured on the boundary. Based on the asymptotic formula of Ammari et al (2003 J. Elast. at press), we propose an algorithm to reconstruct unknown inclusions. The algorithm of this paper detects the location and the elastic moment tensors (elastic Pólya–Szegö tensors) of...
متن کاملReconstruction of Elastic Inclusions of Small Volume via Dynamic Measurements
We consider the inverse problem of identifying locations and certain properties of the shapes of small elastic inclusions in a homogeneous background medium from dynamic boundary measurements for a finite interval in time. Using as weights particular background solutions, we present an asymptotic method based on appropriate averaging of the dynamic boundary measurements and propose non-iterativ...
متن کاملThe direct Method of Fundamental Solutions and the inverse Kirsch-Kress Method for the reconstruction of elastic inclusions or cavities
In this work we consider the inverse problem of detecting inclusions or cavities in an elastic body, using a single boundary measurement on an external boundary. We discuss the identifiability questions on shape reconstruction, presenting counterexamples for Robin boundary conditions or with additional unknown Lamé parameters. Using the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) we adapt a method in...
